The identification of bacteria as germs invisible to the naked eye is primarily attributed to the work of Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch in the late 19th century. Pasteur's experiments on microbial fermentation and disease established the germ theory of disease, while Koch developed methods to isolate and identify specific bacteria, including the causative agents of diseases such as anthrax and tuberculosis. Their pioneering work laid the foundation for microbiology and our understanding of Infectious Diseases.

Who Bacteria or viruses invisible to the naked eye?

Bacteria are visible. The plaque on your teeth, or such foods as cheese is mostly bacteria, and you can see it. Though, these are millions of bacteria in a clump, and you can only see the clump, not the individual bacterium. So, if you are looking at one bacterum, only the largest bacterium can be seen with the naked human eye, since they are single-celled organisms. However, for most bacterium, you need visual enhancers, such as a microscope, to see a single specimine, because most types of bacteria are too small for the naked human eye.

How do you get germs?

Germs are bacteria. Germs are said to make us sick but believe it or not we need them. If you kept germs away from you, you would get really sick when they come near you. Bacteria are vital in maintaining our health. We have good ones in our body all the time (don't want to scare you now!) and it is only when we get bad bacteria that we get sick. Our bodies learn how to fight us these bacteria when we meet them. This makes are immune system stronger and better able to deal with the bacteria the next time we meet them so that it doesn't happen again. You see, if we didn't fight bacteria off all the time they would get to strong for us and then we would be in trouble.
